In a recent parliamentary vote, Poland’s Sejm did not succeed in overturning President Karol Nawrocki’s veto of a bill intended to regulate the country’s crypto asset market. This marks the third time such an attempt has failed. Of the 442 members of parliament who participated in the vote on Friday, 241 supported rejecting the presidential veto, while 198 opposed it and three abstained. However, the motion did not reach the necessary threshold of a three-fifths majority to override the veto.
President Nawrocki has consistently vetoed the proposed crypto regulation bill, with the two previous vetoes occurring in December 2025 and February 2026. He has expressed concerns that the legislation does not adequately address issues highlighted by his office. Nawrocki has indicated that he is open to signing the bill if it undergoes significant amendments to resolve these concerns.
The recurring vetoes highlight ongoing challenges in reaching a consensus on how to effectively regulate Poland’s crypto market. The president’s office has emphasized the need for a revised version of the bill that incorporates the necessary changes to ensure robust regulation of crypto assets.
As it stands, the failure to override the veto means that the proposed regulations remain stalled. Lawmakers must now consider drafting a revised bill that addresses the president’s concerns if they wish to see the legislation enacted. Until then, the regulation of Poland’s crypto market will remain in a state of uncertainty.
